Powder Magazines.

A New York Sun article describing
the powder magazines in the New Jersey
mountains owned by the United States,
says: The magazines are placed so far
apart that should one of them explode
the Others would be in no danger. In
handling the powder more care is taken
than is customary or economical In
powder mill When car load of the
sensitive stuff is backed up to the door OF
the magazine, heavy canvas covering
is thrown over the stone platform in front
Of the door. The men who are to store
the powder then put on rubber shoes, and
each barrel is carefully carried to its place
in wheelbarrow. The barrels are never
rolled or allowed to come in contact with
stone or iron, although there are no nails
used in their construction, and scarcely
any possibility of a spark being struck.
In the magazine the barrels are arranged
in rows, two abreast and four or five bar
rels high. Each tier rests on light skids
of pine wood, and between the rows are
wide aisles which are kept scrupulously.
swept. When the temperature is lower
outdoors than in the magazine, the doors
are thrown open and the ventilators loos-
ened for couple of hours during the
middle of the day. At such times a
watchman with big revolver in his belt
prowls necessarily around the building.
At other times he and his comrades siini-
larly armed arc intrustcd with the po-
Icing of the grounds.

EARTHQUAKES at Sea.

Somebody who has been investigating
the subject says that the chief effect OF
an earthquake on the ocean is the rising
of a great sea wave, sometimes very large,
as, for examgle, sixty feet high at Lis
bon in 1861, also eighty feet at Calloa in
1924, and 200 feet at Lupatka in 1877.
These waves are often more destructive
on land than the actual shocks-the influx
usually preceded by an overflow, which,
in fact, acts as a warning. One OF the
most remarkable effects is the distance to
which these waves are propagated as
''great waves" for example, right across
the Pacific. Thus most large earthquakes
on the east or west coast of the Pacinc
produce waves which are recorded on the
opposite coast about twenty-four hours
after. 1t is asserted that, as to predic-
ton Of earthquakes nothing certain is yet
known, but in many cases there are no.
ticeable changes in springs and wells pre-
ceding the event One useful warning,
however, is remarked as obviously posi-.
ble-namely: the report of an actual
earthquake on the one side of the Pacific
could be at once telegraphed 10 the other
side, thus giving twenty-four hours no.

Awayi away it cannot stay.
My heart hath taken wings for home,
Nor all that's sest of Greece or Rome
Can st-p its sway.
Ny heart hath taken wings for home.
Away
My heart hath taken wings for home,
Oh, swallow, swallow, lead the wayi
oh, little bird, fly north with me,
l have home beside the sea
Where thou canst sing and play
My heart hath taken wings for home,
Awayl
My heart hath taken wings for home.
But thou, Oh little bird, wilt stay;
Thou hast thy little ones with thee here,
Tbymate floats with thee through the clear
Italian depths of day;
My heart hath taken wings for home,
Away!
My heart hath taken wings for home,
Awayi away it cannot stay.
One spring from Brunelleschi's dome,
To Venice by the Adrian foam,
Then westward be my way,
My heart hath taken wings for home,
Awayl
